Air Filters
The air filters behind the front panel / grill should be checked and cleaned once in every 2 weeks or more often if necessary. To remove the filters see the self explanatory diagrams for each model type. Clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner or warm soapy water. If dirt is not easily removed, wash with a solution of detergent in luke warm water. Dry well in shade after washing and reinstall the filters back in place.
Plasma Filters
The plasma filters behind the air filter should be checked and cleaned once in every 3 months or more often if necessary. To remove the filters see the self explanatory diagrams for each model type. Clean the filters with a vacuum cleaner. If it is dirty wash it with water and dry well in shade an install back in place.
Removal of Filters
1. ARTCOOL Mirror Type: Open the front panel as shown. Then pull the filter tab slightly forward to remove the air filter. After removing the air filter remove the plasma and deodorizer filter by slightly pulling forward.
Plasma filter
Front panel
Don't touch this plasma filter within 10 seconds after opening the inlet grille, it may cause an electric shock.
2. Wall Mounted Type : Two different methods to open the front panel based on types of air conditioner as below ; Type 1: Open the front panel as shown. Then pull the filter tab slightly forward to remove the air filter. After removing the air filter remove the plasma and deodorizer filter by slightly pulling forward.
Type 2: Pull the front panel from both sides as shown. Then pull the filter tab slightly forward to remove the filter. After removing the air filter remove the plasma and triple deodorizer filter by slightly pulling forward.

Owner's Manual 17
When the air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time.
When air conditioner is not going to be used for a long time. When the air conditioner is to be used again.
Operate the air conditioner on Air circulation mode (Refer to page 13) for 2 to 3 hours. This will dry out the internal mechanisms. Turn off the circuit breaker, and disconnect the power cable.
Clean the air filter and install it in the indoor unit. (Refer to page 16~17 for cleaning filters.)
Check that the air inlet and outlet of the indoor/outdoor unit are not blocked.
Operation Tips
Do not overcool the room. Keep blinds or curtains closed. Keep the room temperature uniform.
Do not let direct sunshine enter the room when the air conditioner is in operation.
Adjust the vertical and horizontal airflow direction to ensure a uniform temperature in the room.
Make sure that the doors and windows are shut tight. Avoid opening doors and windows if possible to keep the cool air in the room.
Ventilate the room occasionally. Since windows are kept closed, it is a good idea to open them and ventilate the room now and then.
Blockages in the air filter reduce the airflow and lower cooling and dehumidifying effects. Clean at least once every two weeks.
Troubleshooting
Check the following points before requesting repairs or service.... If the fault persists, please contact your dealer or service center.
Case
The air conditioner does not operate. The room has a peculiar odor.
Explanation
Check room temperature setting? Check if circuit breaker is on? Check that this is not a damp smell exuded by the walls, carpet, furniture, or cloth items in the room. Check the drain hose is connected tight or if indoor unit is installed even.

It seems that condensation is leaking from the air conditioner. Air conditioner does not operate for about 3 minutes after turning on.
This is the protector of the mechanism. Wait about 3 minutes and operation will begin. About 3 minutes delay is applied to protect compressor from frequenty on/off.
Is the air filter dirty? See air filter cleaning instructions. Has the temperature been set correctly? Are the indoor unit's air inlet or outlet vents obstructed?
16~17 10 -
For a noise that sounds like water flowing. -This is the sound of refrigerant flowing inside the air conditioner unit. For a noise that sounds like the compressed air releasing into atmosphere. -This is the sound of the dehumidifying water being processed inside the air conditioning unit. Are the batteries depleted? Are the batteries inserted in the opposite (+) and (-) directions? This sound is generated by the expansion/constriction of the front panel, etc. due to changes of temperature.
